Pros

Some managers and some projects are good. If you work in non practice it might be good. If you work for any practice then work life balance won't be there. Especially Java practice is not a good place to work with.

Cons

Everything. I will list one by one. 1.First of all, before joining the company HR will tell one thing in interview and the reality is different when you go in to project. 2.They are putting new hires in bench for long time - 2 months and conducting some internal fake interviews. Without informing you other teams will reserve you in the system for 4 days and the company has no control over it and block you from attending other interviews. 3.Some accounts put you in non billable allocation for 2 months and block you from taking other opportunities. 4. Dont join as B3 Band and above and particularly dont join Java practice. 5.In Java practice they will put you in interview panel even if you are new joinee and if you are in bench and they wont let you to prepare for internal interviews. Existing employees wont accept the interview panel because there is no hike for past 2 years and no amount will be paid for taking interviews and not even single recognition. They are now pushing everyone to take interviews and asking to take interviews on weekends also. Even if you are deployed to project the practice managers will ask to take interviews in project hours. I was not able to concentrate on my project deliverables. Thats why I left this company. So think thousand times before joining this company now. What is the use of Berribot then? No work life balance. Both Practice managers and HR are not following company rules for new joinee. Before completing ICP they directly use employee as panel. New joinees cannot interview external resources for 6 months as per company policy. 6. Question to HR - Are you handling resources as you like? Dont you have any work ethics? Why you are threating employees to be in panel. In timesheet it is mentioned total working hous in a week must not exceed 48 hours, but you are overutilizing employees without any payment. 7. Cafeteria Food is very worst in Wipro. Worst than road side food. No control over food vendors and some cashiers attitude is rude. Ask vendors to wear id cards. Some of their behavior is unprofessional. Before torturing employees first fix food and the environment. 8. Office maintenance is very low. They wont clean the work places regularly.

Pros

Good coworkers and project opportunities. It is up to you to pursue these opportunities.

Cons

HR and immigration folks need to be transparent. Immigration team submitted my visa petition for premium processing, but my visa didn't get approved on time. When I asked immigration for an explanation, they just cited "delays" and were vague in their responses. I asked for documentation on when the premium processing was sent and they did not respond nor provide anything. My 240-day extension for my visa ended, so I was not working for some time. I was a few days away from getting approved. HR then terminates me out of nowhere, saying that I am not authorized to work. Even my manager did not know that I was being terminated. I spoke with immigration who said that I had already been taken off payroll and I would be reinstated once the visa was approved. Even the immigration team said that the termination should not have happened. HR just pulled the trigger and it has impacted me greatly.
